Why Support Guinea Gourmet Treats?
We’re collecting donations to support small animal rescues across the UK. Your contribution helps in two key ways: stock donations and our postage-paid Rescue Hub. Every penny goes toward helping small animals live better lives. Thank you for being part of the rescue journey 🐹💚
Ways to Support Us
We’re incredibly grateful for any form of support — it all makes a difference. Here are a few powerful ways you can help beyond monetary donations:
🎁 Donate Supplies: Send in unopened food, enrichment toys, accessories, or any small animal items your pets didn’t use — we’ll rehome them to rescues who need them most (and we even cover postage!).
📦 Sponsor Postage or Packing Materials: Cover the cost of sending donated supplies to rescues — even a small contribution helps get vital items to where they’re needed.
📣 Spread the Word: Share our posts, rescue wishlists, or success stories on social media. Awareness helps us reach new supporters and rescues alike.
❤️ Advocate for Rescues: Know a great small animal rescue that needs help? Put us in touch! We're always looking to expand our support network fairly and thoughtfully.
🤲 Donate Time or Skills: If you’re local or have relevant skills (design, printing, crafting), we’d love to hear from you!
Help us get critical supplies where they’re needed most — you can make a huge difference!
By sponsoring postage or packing materials, you directly enable us to receive, sort, and redistribute donations to small animal rescues:
-
Even a £5 contribution covers postage for an average donation box—your support helps ensure items reach rescues quickly and reliably.
-
A £20 gift equips us with all necessary packing materials—bubble wrap, boxes, labels—so donated items stay safe and organized.
🎯 Why This Matters
-
Your help stretches further — In‑kind donations are great, but without postage funds, they often get held back. Your contribution clears that hurdle and delivers essential supplies faster.
-
Smart, fair distribution — We monitor rescue need-waves and redirect items accordingly; your support ensures they arrive when and where they’re most needed.

Why Guinea Gourmet Treats?
Guinea Gourmet Treats isn’t just a business — it was born from a decade of hands-on rescue work and a deep passion for small animal welfare. Unlike larger charities, we focus specifically on small, often-overlooked rescues and provide support in ways that truly make a difference:
💚 Rescue-Rooted: We’re built on firsthand experience running a rescue, which means we understand the real needs — not just the surface-level ones.
🌱 Stock Made with Purpose: Our handmade forages and treats are crafted using natural, species-appropriate ingredients. No sugar, no fillers, no fluff — just real nutrition for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and more.
📦 We Do the Legwork: Through our Rescue Hub, we collect donations, cover postage, sort and distribute supplies to the rescues most in need — ensuring every donation is used effectively and fairly.
🤲 Genuinely Small & Personal: We’re a small, single-parent-run operation with heart at the centre of everything. Donations don’t vanish into overhead — they directly support animals and the rescues that care for them.
🐹 Filling the Gaps: We help where others can’t — with enrichment bundles, senior piggy care packs, or just being that reliable go-between when a rescue urgently needs supplies.
Our Goal: Making a Measurable Impact
Every donation — whether it’s money, supplies, or simply spreading the word — helps us create real, measurable change in the lives of small animals and the people working tirelessly to rescue them.
Here’s the kind of impact we aim to achieve:
💚 Immediate Relief for Rescues: Your support helps us quickly respond to urgent needs — like food shortages, emergency intakes, or large-scale surrenders — with postage-paid donations and care packs.
🌿 Consistent Enrichment & Nutrition: By donating handmade, healthy forage and treats, we provide enrichment that reduces stress and supports natural behaviours, especially for animals recovering from trauma or neglect.
📦 Fair & Flexible Distribution: As a central donation hub, we ensure supplies go where they’re needed most, not just to the most visible rescues. This fairness builds a stronger, more connected rescue network.
🐰 Better Outcomes for Animals: Healthy, enriched animals are more adoptable. Our support helps rescues not just keep animals alive, but help them thrive — physically and emotionally.
🤝 Community Support that Feels Human: We want every rescue we work with to feel seen, heard, and supported — not just another number in a queue.

Purpose: To connect GGT with under-supported rescues that may benefit from supply donations, forage bundles, or wishlist exposure.
